No telling how many times I've tweeted this 17 minute video of "poor people" in Ethiopia with their donkeys.
In the first place, I reject the characterization of these people as "poor."
Poverty is a measure of fairness, not of wealth.

2. In the first place, those people with the donkeys aren't in some cubicle somewhere kissing some boss's ass. They are out in good air, walking. Look at them.
The women are beautiful. The men are handsome. They walk light and easy on their feet. They are erect and strong.

3. If everyone on Earth lived by the principles that these donkey owners live by, we wouldn't have climate change.
Period.
The people in this video who are to be shunned and reeducated are the ones burning fossil fuels to do what the wise ones can easily do without.

4. The old people are proud, noble in appearance. The middle aged and elder women have spread some, as humans will, but they are still elegant in their stride.
The guy with the short leg appears to do well.
They aren't shaking their fists in road rage. They look happy, mostly.

5. The grouchy woman is a grouchy woman. Her donkey hassles her. Naturally. They get by.
6. Notice the donkey carrying a load of wood home unescorted.
7. Last time I went to Richmond for something, cars zipped by me going the opposite direction. No human interaction; human interaction has been made obsolete.
I believe much of what's worst about 2020 is the direct result of that one fact. Mass murder. Suicide. Hatred.

8. Oh well. There I go again.
PS. I notice I have two consecutive "In the first place," clauses. Oh well. Pobody's nerfect.
